OC GOP Chairman needs to step down
Just when I thought there might be some hope for Scott Baugh, the OC GOP Chairman, I found out tonight that he refused to allow OC GOP Central Committee member Tim Whitacre to participate in a scheduled OC GOP Executive Committee meeting that was held at Baugh’s office earlier today. Whitacre was appointed to the OC GOP Executive Committee by the 69th Assembly District GOP Caucus. That means that Baugh was totally out of order by refusing to let Whitacre participate in the meeting.
Baugh even called the police and tried to have Whitacre arrested. That ploy failed and Whitacre ended up getting a police report from the police officers attesting to the fact that Baugh illegally tried to keep an elected member of the OC GOP Executive Committee out of a meeting that he had every right to participate in.
Mark Bucher was the only Executive Committee member who even tried to talk Baugh out of this ridiculous and illegal course of action. The rest of them went along sheepishly with Baugh. Needless to say, Whitacre will probably sue Baugh for this too, in addition to his other lawsuit over the Carona endorsement fiasco.
In all the years that I have been involved with the OC GOP Central Committee, I have never seen such a mess. I have had enough. Baugh needs to step down immediately. He simply cannot function as Chair of the OC GOP. I hope that Bucher will replace him. Certainly no one else on the Executive Committee has the huevos to say no to the Schroeders and Fleischmans of the world. Somebody has to rise above the fray and run the party ethically. It is readily apparent that Baugh is not that person.
What was Baugh’s reason? If Tim has named the Committee as a defendant in his suit then they could arguably exclude him solely for a closed session to deal with the suit. And I’m not even positive about that–otherwise he has a right to be there.
Get a good lawyer Scott. Bucher is a smart guy, smarter lawyer–you should have listened to him.
Baugh gots to go.
1. Conservative Tran gets kicked out of race
2. Embarrassing voter registration fiasco
3.Harman wins conservative district.
4. No Republican candidate runs against Democrat county Official, Tom Daly
5. Central Commitee does the “yo-yo” and supports someone for re-election that they previously denied.
6. Chairman kicks out and threatens for arrest the one remaining soldier fighting in central OC to take back this area.
Add to this list…and keep it going
Baugh is a joke. Like Schroeder, Fleishman etc. Baugh is simply the “man behind the curtain” and schroeder etal have their collective heads up his skirt. (Didn’t Baugh use to wear a skirt?)
Republicans will look back on this era and shake their heads at how screwed up this “leadership” really turned out to be.
The fact is, even Ackerman is a RINO. Great leadership.
Homeboy Baugh needs to lose some weight…damn he looks like he’s 55+ years old and he’s only in his early 40s…and he’s changing jobs often…
Actually Baugh is 58 years old and looks great for his age!
I thought we voted to Downsize the Chairman’s post not Supersize it!
Regardless of the age, lets recall Baugh
At no age can you be fat and look great for your age.
Unfortuantely, the sign of the times shows in your comment that obesity is acceptable if your still kicking while your closing in on 60.
Oprah, Star Jones, Anna Nicole, Scott Baugh…what do they have in common? They are all showing it’s ok to live large…It’s all in the way you dress…you may notice Scott favors dark suits and vertical stripes to help thin him up…
There one quote that stands out in my mind when referrinf to people who are obese. While watching the hot seat, with conservative commentator Wally George guest tell another guest, “Never trust someone who will eat your sandwich”. It seems fitting now when trying to trust Chairman Baugh.
So remember Never trust someone(Baugh) who would eat your sandwich.
Art,
Tim & yourself should start your own party. Call it (IIOC) Illogical Idiots of Orange County. Scott Baugh has every right to disallow Tim at the OCGOP meeting.
Who’s Mike Hunt? Carona for President.
Sorry buddy but the only thing keeping Corona employed is his incumbent status. Once he out of the sheriffs office and running for an open seat with all the problems he’s faced, he be lucky if he can be a dog catcher.
The pride of the OC:
Hoodlum Carona and his pistol-happy business clan, Angry Dana Rohrabacher, Jim “Madman” Gilchrist and Chairman Plumb Baugh…
I need to move back to the OC…
